In windows explorer navigate to: 1. drive_letter:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup or Drive_letter:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs\Startup If found in startup folder...delete (notepad.exe) In the registry (Start/Run/regedit) navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Wi ndows\CurrentVersion\Run Look in Run subkey (in right pane ) for notepad.exe If found right-click entry and delete WARNING: incorrectly editing the registry can adversely affect your system. Backup the subkey first or create a restore point. -- woundedback Please drive safely |

The "Mother of all questions": What changes (installations) have been made prior to the first encounter and why don't you undo these changes (installations)? Scan the system for malware and use the MSCONFIG tool in order to find the culprit. See also if this article applies: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330132/EN-US -- d-d |
